Culture warp

Blogs cover every angle and orifice of American culture, so it is fitting that blog advertisers should exhuberantly reach for the same highs and lows.

Yesterday, I blogged about the blogad for academic theorist Camille Paglia’s poetry book.

Today, we’ve got Ginger and Maryanne thrashing each other in a Gilligan’s Island reality TV show pie-fight, courtesy of Turner Broadcasting (one of the first advertisers to push the envelope, with last year’s much-discussed Sex and the City blogad.)

Also today, covering another essential and under-covered angle of American culture, we’ve got a ticklish CareerBuilder ad featuring the Idiot Boss.
